Jeremy Murray is a serial entrepreneur who has devoted his career to turning bold ideas into tangible innovations. Born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, Jeremy moved to the UK at the age of 18 - a transition that helped shape his inclusive, globally minded approach to leadership and collaboration. An engineer deep within his heart and soul, problem solving truly runs in his veins, fueling his drive to merge cutting-edge technologies with real-world applications.
After completing a PhD in Semiconductors at the University of Edinburgh, where he published over a dozen peer-reviewed papers and secured three patents whist working for a deep tech startup, Jeremy combined his scientific expertise with business acumen, earned through an MBA at Edinburgh Business School. Early in his career, he held roles as a Process & Application Engineer, refining advanced materials and focusing on AI driven process development. This hands-on technical background eventually led him to manage and scale high-impact projects as a Head Program Manager in the burgeoning field of IoT.
Eager to bring his research and industry experience into a startup environment, Jeremy co-founded Aceso Analytics in Oslo and London. Driven by a commitment to improving patient outcomes, Aceso set out to use affordable IoT technologies and privacy-focused, non-intrusive AI to detect the early signs of dementia. Under his direction, the company merged health, data analytics, and user-centric design to tackle one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time. The team expanded to 22 with employees ranging from PhDs from UCL to Data Scientist from Cambridge and Oxford University.
Epiphany
In his healthcare startup journey, Jeremy grew tired of watching large chunks of the budget swallowed by sky-high cloud costs, also noticing that major cloud providers often failed to utilize compute resources efficiently. He recognized a need for a drastic shift toward more sustainable, cost-effective infrastructures. This led him to build a cloud platform entirely on Kubernetes, integrating on-prem solutions and niche infrastructure providers that take AI and GPU use sustainability seriously. As Jeremy anticipated a surge of AI-driven applications, spurred by GenAI and AI Agents, he believed the future of applicatons had to be both efficient and environmentally centered. He coined the internal project “stack8s” (short for “building application stacks on k8s”), reflecting its vision of scalability, sustainability, and intelligent resource management.
Today, as co-founder of stack8s, Jeremy continues to push boundaries in cloud, AI, and data innovation. Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, he has placed diversity at the center of his work philosophy: in addition to speaking Hindi fluently, he champions varied cultural and professional backgrounds as the catalyst for transformative ideas. Jeremy practises organic organizational structure, with no hirarchies within the company. Whether in the lab or the boardroom, Jeremy Murray proves that an engineer’s heart, a global perspective, and an unyielding passion for problem solving can drive breakthroughs across industries and borders.
